24By7Security Partners With MedSec to Launch Comprehensive “Start to Finish” Medical Device Security Program

• Combining 24By7Security’s deep IT security expertise with MedSec’s extensive experience in medical device security

MedSec, a healthcare-focused cybersecurity company, announced a partnership with 24By7Security, Inc, a premier full service national cybersecurity consulting firm. The agreement combines 24By7Security’s deep IT security and compliance expertise with MedSec’s extensive expertise in medical device security to produce a comprehensive medical device risk management program for hospitals.

With the rise of the connected hospital, increasing populations of medical devices are connected to hospital IT networks and the internet. This infrastructure has unique availability and security requirements, typically managed by different departments with disparate priorities and practices. General purpose security solutions do not address the unique challenges facing hospitals and healthcare infrastructure.

“24By7Security’s unmatched expertise, from risk assessment and testing to HIPAA policies and procedures, allows us to offer the first program fully dedicated to hospital medical device requirements.
